*This crap came from TwitterX and yet you believe that it, and not the New
England Journal of Medicine, is the best place to get information about how
to survive the next pandemic! I have a strong hunch that the editors of
that scientifically respected journal would not publish an article that was
similar to the above, but over at TwitterX it doesn't matter if something
has zero informational content or even has negative misinformation. On
TwitterX anything goes, provided of course that you don't utter the
slightest criticism of the richest man in the world.*
